As you go within to find the “heart” of any matter, always explore what lies in the middle of your chest. It’s your Heart, and your Soul. Many of us have forgotten about this aspect of ourselves. The Heart awaits in dormancy until its call is heard, until its stirrings are felt and brought to life through conscious attention. Conscious attention is the avenue by which the soul enlivens, by which the body ideal encompasses the aspect of life that gives birth to new experiences, bliss and creation, as you walk on your path each day.

Now why do we forget that our Heart and Soul are the most alive parts of our being, truly? How could we become unaware of such power and glory, such life-force, such remembering of the Truth within? We chose to. We chose to and we have forgotten that we chose to. Why, do you say? Because that was the plan. The Master Plan to become Angels on Earth who forget they are Angels. A temporary amnesia, if you will. A several thousand-year amnesia that spawned the creation of what mankind has considered life on this planet, in this orbit.

What is Life? Life is the Universal Life-force that flows through each and every one of us, all things alive, until it doesn’t. Only it doesn’t stop flowing, it just transforms into something else, another way of Be-ing. A new experiment in creation and flow.

So what are we doing with this experiment now, here on Earth? We are remembering who we are, at the core level of our Be-ing. The core level is the Truth, the holiness inside of us that begs to be heard, acknowledged, breathed life into in the form of the human expression. You have forgotten who you are and have forgotten that you forgot. Quite the mystery, is it not?

So here we are trying to unravel the mystery. We can look hither and yon, here and there, and still not find what we are looking for. Why is that, you might ask? Because the outer is the illusion and does not contain anything real or substantive over the course of time. The Being-ness of who you are on the inner, your Godself, has not changed through time. Imagine that! Something has remained in its pristine form, its original design- the original “You.”

Who are You? You are God. The Infinite One. The Bliss of the ocean, the air, the trees, the holes in the ground that hold little animals as they sleep. Where are you in all of this grandness? You are right here. Right inside your Being-looking through your eyes reading this, feeling a recognition that generates a wonderful comforting sense of inner knowing that all is well, all is right.

So how do we connect with this inner comfort more often? By going within and sorting out what is there. For, you see, over eons of time, as you have inhabited various forms and bodies, you have accumulated layers of accretion that need to be cleared. The pieces of these layers can feel like the truth because you may feel them strongly, fervently even. But the strength of feeling in itself is not a marker of Divinity. Rather, the truth comes in clear yet soft feelings of knowing that speak quietly to your Being.

How do we hear the truth more clearly? By being silent. By acknowledging emotions that are present and honoring and loving them, feeling them, and allowing them to pass. Then, underneath what was once there, you will find the gentle truth that moves you to the next level of understanding. As the layers are unraveled, the levels of understanding become more poignant, more surreal even as what you once thought was the truth now seems to be the opposite. And life keeps changing as you keep evolving, and enlivening the Heart within, the Sacred Truth of your Be-ing. Your Heart. Your Soul.
